My dream is a Harley riding cowgirl. Ha ha right... In reality I
don't know what she looks like. I'll be caught totally off guard by
someone real and it will be all about who she is, not what she
rides. Capture me with those eyes...

Hello. I'm wondering how it would be possible really impress on a
woman what my true nature is with mere words. I don't think I can.
I will say that I am a lover of art and tell you that I am a
hopeless romantic. I might sound silly saying that I'll have a
difficult time getting past the wonder of what I see in your eyes,
and that I'll want to take as much time as I can there...studying
each breath, every heart beat, driving you crazy. ; )
Can you really know what that means reading it here? Now don't say
yes.. give me the chance to show you.
I'm not sure I care as much about fine dining or going to a movie
as I do listening to the sound of your voice. I am listening to
you. If you are sincerely trying to get my attention I won't play
games with your honesty I'll want to bring you close to me and just
hold you. God, I can't prove anything here can I?
What I'm trying to say is that I dream of meeting a wonderful woman
and get a real chance to show her who I am without the deal
breakers. I will give the very same to you because I know this is
what you want too! A dream of...a given chance to know something
true.
If I am talking to you it's because I have a feeling and I'll take
the chance of making myself look like a real dope just to tell
you...with my words. But I am not afraid to show you, too. Tell me
if you want to meet me, please.
If what I say resonates with you say so. Take a minute and write me
a note. Give that chance.

A few things about me... one might first observe that I am
friendly, I'm easy to talk to and I am interested in what others
have to say.. I know how important your words are and I'm
listening.
I truly care about others, their feelings and it's my nature to act
as confidant or lend an ear when I can.
I was very shy growing up, not so much shy now, have plenty to say
and enjoy good conversation topics unlimited.
I can be feisty and opinionated but do not have to win anything and
agree to disagree respectfully regardless one's political bent or
personal beliefs.
I truly do believe in tolerance and forgiveness.
A thing that I am not is a player. I am loyal. These words do
translate in reality.
As I said...I am a romantic. I am affectionate and dedicated to
showing these to you..
I am also a highly skilled craftsman. "Hands on" is mandatory. If
you don't like snuggling, sorry but you'll find planks in the
lumber department. :)

I am enjoying what I love to do. My love for antiques and anything
related to old houses has me in the antique and home restoration
business and hunting for old treasure, art and antiques. I'm happy
about myself and the prospect of good things to come. I intend on
enjoying more of the important things life offers. Contentment is
important. A romantic relationship bound by trust is what I am
looking for. I know there is that special lady out there ..hiding.
Don't be shy. Take a chance. Say hi.

Challenge me....I'll let you win if the payoff is something
special
like....... any gift from your heart. Hugs are fine. Are you in a
romantic mood? Hmm.
On the physical skill side of things I was a pretty good all-around
athlete; football, baseball, swimming. Loved shooting pool, threw
tournament darts all over The City.
I'm a musician(drums). A craftsman by trade I was a high end
Painting/Decorating Contractor for 35yrs. My real love is home
restoration/preservation. I've been buying and selling antiques for
many years and love restoring anything antique.

I feel fortunate to have been born and raised in the cultural
infusion San Francisco is so blessed with.
I enjoy "Old House Journal" anything architectural, art and antique
auction publications.
American Picker, Counting Cars, American Restoration, Pawn Stars
are staples for this picker.
Yes food..really good food..not picky , love just about the entire
menu.
Movies are less seen lately but I like 'em to thrill, excite and
move my mind to new places.
Music is at my core as one influenced by a performing/teaching
mother and audiophile father. #1 is the Blues, listening or
playing. Rock, Jazz, Swing ..I love all music.
Romantic music can be influential.. ;)
